Hi dawei, I am not absolutely sure about 'consort' but a close friend X is. He swear in the name of his Consort A. They met in search of the Light. Another close friend Y too has a consort whilst searching for his Light. His consort is transformable - from A to Z. Y likes too whistle to this... I wonder why. - LimA 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jeff Posted July 22, 2018 On 7/19/2018 at 6:32 AM, Limahong said: Hi Jeff, Is perception without writings more spiritually advanced? Perception is perception. Writings are writings. The problem is when one maps their perception to something they have read. Trying to map into some writing without the actual direct perception. On 7/19/2018 at 6:32 AM, Limahong said: Can we touch base with the essence of Tao Te Jing - spiritually with our heart, body and mind through firsthand experiences? If they are not first hand experiences, then one is simply reading a text. On 7/19/2018 at 6:32 AM, Limahong said: If so, can I superimpose my such perceptions on this... ?

Hi Jeff, Chronologically and broadly - I am with this as a sequential learning/knowing flow: (a) Events => (b) Experience => (c) Perception => (d) Writing (a) to (d) may be perceived as distinct steps, but there can be temporal and spatial overlaps. When it comes to the writing in (d), relevant references may be consulted to bring forward knowledge fields. - LimA Edited July 22, 2018 by Limahong Enhance ... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, I follow your logic thread, but writing it does not necessarily mean any form of accurate perception. It could be... a - walked by a snake. b - experienced being scared by a snake c - perceive that snakes are scary d - write down that since snakes are dangerous and scary, one should avoid them.

Limahong Posted July 22, 2018 1 hour ago, Jeff said: Not sure I really understand what you are trying to say? Hi Jeff, My apology for the non-clarity in my post; thank you your elaboration on perception. When I joined TDB, I did so as one in search of knowledge with this forum taken as a body of knowledge - in particular to Taoism as a philosophy. Steps (a) to (d) ~ in relation to (a) Events => (b) Experience => (c) Perception => (d) Writing ~ pertain to my processual mental model on contributing to a body of knowledge. For me writing ~ conceived in the context of contribution to a body of knowledge ~ is beyond perception. When it comes to the writing in (d), relevant references may be consulted to bring forward knowledge fields. - LimA 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
